Can't plays games from USB!

Hello! Long time lurker here.

I recently decided to get back into gaming on the wii and discovered that my Brawl disc wasn't being read by my Wii anymore. I ended up buying a 1TB hard drive and an SD card. My hard is compatable and is formated to fat32 with 32kb cluster.

I believe I downloaded the current CIOS but I also see a bunch of people posting their logs so I went ahead and downloaded syschecker!

Did you check out the FAT32 guide that recommends how to format and install content?

Yes I did. My hard drive is Toshiba and the model number is v73600-c. I downloaded EaseUS but it kept getting stuck at around 21-27 percent. But when I formatted it with wii back up manager, it worked. My hard drive is formatted to FAT32 with 32kb clusters

We have a list of compatible (and not compatible) hard drives. I'm not at my PC to get the link from IRC-bot, but if you search for it, you should find it. See if your hard drive is in the list (if not listed, doesn't mean it's not compatible, only that it hasn't been reported on in the past).

But the fact that EaseUS couldn't format it bothers me a little. That's our preferred tool for formatting hard drives.

It's not on the list, but all boot loaders detect it other and USB loader GX but whenever I try and run the game, it goes to a black screen and restarts.
